About

Website

 

Originally from White Plains, NY, I trained in Design and Environmental Analysis at Cornell, had a career leading projects for corporate interior and architectural clients, and am now a full-time photographer.  I’ve studied photography at the International Center for Photography and the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, and am a student of NY photographer Carol Dragon.  In addition to Professional Women Photographers (PWP), I’m a member of American Photographic Artists (APA) and Studio Montclair in New Jersey.  My work includes abstract composition, cityscapes, B & W, and alternative photography, including photograms.

Artist statement:

When I see light illuminating a building or a stairway, sneaking in from the side, articulating the texture of a wall or highlighting a detail, I want to reach out and touch it.  By capturing the movement of light and making it tangible, I seek to preserve the instant of visual delight.  I am pulled in by the imprint of the human species, the interaction of the buildings around us with nature, and the artistic process – these things attract me.  I’m passionate about the built environment and its inhabitants, expressed in color, pattern, light and shadow.
